Everyone who saw his Elden Ring build knows he’s as good a videogame player as he’s a father.

Even if you tried, it would be hard to come up with a funnier build. Seriously, it’s life imitating art… He literally leveled intelligence without any weapons that require it, because he of course wants to seem intelligent.

Oh how unfair. He busts his ass running 3 companies, running one more company into the ground, running around Trump’s club annoying everyone, arguing with everyone on twitter, attending major events, and he has enough free time left over to gain top 10 skills in multiple video games?

No. He does not. Is he cheating or just lying about everything?

My boss still believes he plays a major role in designing the rockets at Space-X. Surprisingly, my boss apparently isn’t a child.

I’m good friends with someone who worked at SpaceX. It’s sort of an open secret that Elon has an entire team of people designated specifically to keeping him away from the engineers. Their entire job is to run interference and keep him distracted, so he can’t go marching into the engineers’ areas and ruin all of their work. Because apparently they have learned that if he is given free reign, he’ll tell the engineers to do a bunch of impossible shit, fire them all when they say they can’t, and then the management is left scrambling to hire new engineers.

I dont know about path of exiles, but he exploited a bug that was going around to get that Diablo spot.

Given that in diablo it was a bug, I think thats fair game. But with path of exiles if he’s cheating as in using hacks or whatever, thats hilarious and fucked and he dserves the ban lol.

Because he is a CEO.

CEOs don’t actually do anything, they are just a face. They collect all the money and then fuck off to do whatever they want, which for musk is TV interviews, trump rallies, obsess over Twitter and apparently play video games.

I mean ideally CEOs make informed decisions and have at least a pretty good grasp about what the company does and what could be done to make it better (after listening to people under them). CEOs like Musk are lazy and skip the actual work and make uninformed decisions that hurt the company.

Since CEOs are never actually punished for doing the latter it becomes the norm more and more.

CEOs like that just needs some extra motivation, maybe a 20 mill pay raise will make them work a tiny bit harder

There are CEOs like that. Then there are CEOs completely reshaping their industry while figuring out what new systems the company needs from scratch. Everyone wants the second kind, but most of them are the first kind, including Elon.

I’m thinking you’ve never been near a CEO for any period of time. It’s a non stop barrage of critical choices with major outcomes. Day and night.

Life is a barrage of critical choices with major outcomes. The ability to make decisions is not a distinguishing trait amongst humans.

What size business? A “CEO” of a company with 20 or so employees is a whole different thing to Musk.

I’ve had his role a couple times on a smaller scale. My job was to make one or two decisions per day, communicate the ideology of why to subordinates, and hold them accountable. I spent tens of hours reasoning why and how, then ten minutes doing the work.

Elon skips the reasoning part. He just spends a few minutes per day communicating nonsense. My favorite line so far is, “We coup who we want.”

He has people. For the wealthy, being busy is a choice. He can decide to disconnect from his duties whenever he wants, because he has entire teams of people who will pick up the slack.

When you’re that rich, ie the richest person on the planet, time is not a scarcity. His management style is to say do it or your fired. Doesn’t take a lot of time to be a dick to everyone.

As hilarious it is to see him face at least some kind of repercussions for the awful excuse of a human he is, this should be no surprise Mr Racist Bloodmoney has a problem with following the rules like the majority of humanity and cheats anytime he can (the rich dont get/stay rich by playing fair)

Exactly. This is the first I’ve heard of this (thankfulky, I do try and limit the garbage I read) but no gamer is gonna see a world record holder and not think “that guy must be grinding on Twitch 60 hours a week!” Why wouldn’t they assume he was cheating?
